Date:
25th July 2015 Location: Whalan Reserve, NSW, Australia Conditions: breeze 5-10km/h, sunny 21C, Team Members at Event: GK, PK, John K and Paul K. Channel 7 NewsThis week NSWRA was contacted by Channel 7 News' Mike Duffy that he would like to do a story on the launch events at Whalan Reserve. The club was happy to accommodate them as it was a good opportunity to promote the club. On the morning of the launch we had a good turnout of people as well as rockets. Mike came with his cameraman Luke and spent about 3 hours filming the launch proceedings from different angles. Luke had a couple of GoPros as well to film the rockets from close to the pad. They interviewed a few of the members about the hobby and their rockets including our water rockets.
We got to launch our water rocket 3 times two of which were for the segment. There were quite a few rockets launched on the day including at least a couple of G's.
Paul got to launch his new "Fire Flight" rocket on a B6-4 motor. It flew really well and deployed right at apogee. Unfortunately it landed part way up a tree. The good news was that because of that he got to have it on TV. :) It was easy enough to retrieve from the tree with a long stick.
John got to launch his Dust Devil on a C6-5 and retrieved it safely. We also put our video cameras on a couple of the bigger rockets that they ended up using on the segment. All in all it turned out to be a good day, and the segment was also I believe good for the club. I did not put together a video for this launch as there really was nothing new about the launches, I also didn't get a great deal of video as I was quite busy with RSO duties. Here are some screen shots from the video: I was surprised they showed the segment that night at 6pm. They must have a pretty efficient production crew. :)
